NEW INTERVIEW: Our first interview with GENOCIDE (Yangon, Myanmar Brutal Death Metal), 24/6/2016

Band: Genocide.Band Members: Myint Mo Kyaw (Main Vocal), Alice
(Bass), Pyae Sone Thu (Guitars, Drums Programming), Phyo Wai Lin (Manager
& Sound Engineer).Band Genre: Brutal Death Metal.Origin: Yangon, Myanmar.Biography: It all started out back in June 2013 as non extreme metal band until we
met up and got an agreement with founder of Gloomy Sphere Records,
Eric Lin aka Phyo Wai Lin, and since then we completely changed our music
towards sub genre of extreme metal and stated ourselves as 100 percent
Burmese Pure Brutality Assault…In the past, due to the lack of member
commitment, money issues, and other members' lack of time, Pyae Sone
Thu (Guitarist) and founder of Genocide decided to team up with Myint Mo
Kyaw, and Alice and we three have been writing and releasing singles under
Gloomy Sphere Records until now…We are currently in the studio with our
music producer, Eric Lin (Phyo Wai Lin), and finalizing our much awaited
EP and five heavy tracks will be included.

Kieran James:
Hi, can you tell me the early history from the formation of the band up to now?Pyae Sone Thu (founder / guitarist / bassist / lyricist / arranger GENOCIDE band): We formed in 2013 with vocalist Myint Mo Kyaw who was
influenced by hip-hop and old school death metal.
Then we were faced with money problems.
We couldn't be active in those years.
I write the whole material of the band and Myint Mo Kyaw writes most
lyrics of the band.
We added a new member named Alice in 2016. She is bassist.

KJ2: How is the response of people to your mini-albums / album / demos?

Most of the deathcore, metallic hardcore, and beatdown hardcore fans in
our local area like our genre. And we have some fans from Indonesia.

KJ3: What are the most influential bands for you guys in playing music?

Our material is influenced mainly by Indonesian bands such as Jasad and
Kaluman. And we are also influenced by other bands such as Digging Up, Undergod, Turbidity, Abominable
Putridity, and Putrid Pile.

KJ5: What are the lyrical themes?

The lyrical themes are about Murder, Brutality and Prophecy about what we are facing
today.

KJ6: Are the songs you create using English or foreign lyrics?

Mostly we use Burmese language.

KJ7: Why do you all like to play old-school instead of deathcore or other
modern styles?

I think old school genres like death metal and deathgrind have more
skills than the modern-day music called deathcore...
I think a beginner guitarist can easily train to play deathcore in
one or two weeks but not deathgrind or death metal.

KJ8: When did you first become fans of metal bands?

I became a metal fan when I was 13-years-old.

KJ9: What do yousay topeople whoask whyyouplaywestern-style music?

Western music is more fresh, more creative, and more energetic.

KJ10: Do the wivesand girlfriendsof the personnelsupport whatyou are doing?

Nobody has supported me since I was young. I try by myself.

KJ11: What are the best and worst thingsabout thecommunityinyourcity?

The worst thing is that people hate brutal death metal in our local area but I meet
with lots of Brutal death fans from our city... it's amazing, that is the good
thing.

KJ12: What are your most memorable shows or experiences
onstage?

Extreme Rampage was the most memorable show in my life because I met with lots
of fans.

KJ13: Have you received any messages from the fans?

The first letter we received was from the Kaluman guitarist (Mr Dedra Digging). And he told me that he is pleased with our first promotion song.

Abolishing the Ignominious (Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA) - Vociferous Obsolescence (Coyote Records) An abomination was born by Abolishing the Ignominious all around the f***ing world and spreading a bloody carnage of the most f***ing brutal with a "Vociferous Obsolescence" putting the f***ing Earth to rot! This hungry f***ing beast performs a twisted Brutal Death F***ing Metal destroying everything in its f***ing path in a f***ed up f***ing way and with this first massacre, Its managing very well to mark the f***ing minds of scared people! This "Vociferous Obsolescence" is divided in six killer f***ing acts being all f***ing excellent and having all of them a few boring parts but surrounded by great moments making flows this f***ing shit still very well! Because of the very high twisted touch, its not really the kind of release being very addictive maybe by lacking on the catchy riffing side but mostly because this f***ing shit is completely f***ed up on all f***…

Kieran James (Busuk Chronicles): Hi,
can you tell me the early history from the formation of the band up to now? Arelys
Jimenez (female vocalist): Greetings! I have been trying to form my own black
metal band for many years now. Finally got it to happen! It started by the end
of 2014, with a complete different line-up which I was contacted from a post I
had on craigslist looking for members and we were called Enochian Ritual. I
felt the band was not progressing as I wanted to be. I told them it is best to
depart ways as I pursue what I am looking for in creating this band. I went
through a few line-up changes from members moving out of state, wanting to
focus on their own project, or simply work-related interference. Now we are
back with a full line up and new band name “Matianak” (which is an Indonesian
folklore witch that died from stillbirth.) The band now consists of 2 guitarists,
bass player, drummer, and me on vocals and I hope that there are no changes
again so that I can contin…

Kieran James: Hi, can you tell me the early history from the formation of the band up to now? VALAFAR band: We formed early 2013 in Bradford, West Yorkshire. Most of the band knew each
other from previous groups around the Bradford circuit and joined to create Valafar.
Our first Demo EP 'Ritual of the Diabolical' was released in February 2013. Following
this, 'Helheim', the first full length album was independently released in August 2015.
Since then we have been performing regularly nationwide at clubs, bars and
festivals. KJ2: How is the response of people to your debut full-length album Helheim? We’ve had a great response so far from our fans. The first pressings of the CD sold
out completely and the reviews have been extremely positive. We’re still frequently
selling copies online and at gigs over a year after the initial release. KJ3: What are the most influential bands for you guys in playing music? As a band we take our influences from Scandinavian bands such as…

Kieran James1: Please tell us the band history and the line-upchanges up until today. Shasank Venkat (lead guitarist)1.) It all started back in 2009 when Siri (vocals / bass), Sravan (vocals / rhythm guitar) and myself Shasank (lead guitar) got together and formed a hard rock / metal cover band called Echo. We played a lot of gigs around the country but we never got a chance to write and play our own music since it was a cover band. In 2014, we decided to form another band dedicated to playing our own music. Noble John (Drums) joined us as the drummer and that's how Against Evil happened.

2 How has response been to the Against Evil EP? What countries or regions have you had the most impact?2.) The response to our debut EP "Fatal Assault" has been amazing! Most of the critical acclaim came from parts of Europe and India.

Speedbreaker and I hear the strong Judas Priest and Accept influence, is
that correct?3.) You are ri…
